Neurocognitive dysfunction and injury remain problematic following cardiac procedures requiring hypothermic circulatory arrest (HCA). Due to poor blood-brain-barrier (BBB) penetrance and toxicities associated with systemic drug therapies, clinical success has been elusive. Accordingly, we explored targeted dendrimer (a nanoparticle)-drug therapies in our well established canine model of HCA to characterize the biodistribution and cellular localization of these nanoparticles in areas of known neuronal apoptosis and necrosis. Class-A, 27-30 kg male hounds were administered an initial intravenous bolus [10% of the total dose (200mg)] of Cy5-labeled dendrimer (D6-Cy5, 6.7-nm) and placed on cardiopulmonary bypass via peripheral cannulation. After a 90-minute period of HCA, 70% of the total dose was infused over a 6-hour period. The final 20% of the total dose was given 24-hours post-HCA. Forty-eight hours later (72-hours post-HCA), the brain was harvested and analyzed for D6-Cy5 biodistribution. The dorsal hippocampus demonstrated the highest brain accumulation of D6-Cy5, which closely corresponds to the distribution of apoptotic neurons evident with histological staining and on confocal imaging. In injured brain regions, dendrimer traversed the BBB and localized within the target cells (injured neurons and microglia). This is the first known study to illustrate consistent neuronal/microglia uptake of a dendrimer-drug delivery system in a large animal model after systemic administration. These findings have exciting implications for the future development of novel therapeutics to mitigate neurocognitive deficits in this group of patients.
